"355CAV and heat pump"
I have a 355cav lp gas 95% Eff. furnace, with Bryant 17 Seer heat pump, zoning, Evolution thermostat, it's the hybrid system. Works great -- saves me $600 or 30% a year on my heating costs. With a warmer than normal winter in Wisc. I Have a separate electic meter on the heat pump. So from Oct.1 to April 9, 2012 I used $408.20 of electric at $.15 a kilowatt. LP man figures I used 375 Gal. of LP with a water heater. So, I spent about $1150 this season. My old 87% boiler would use 800 Gal. per year in a normal year. "Bryant for what ever it takes".

"Old Faithful"
In 2007, my Bryant furnace was estimated to be between 25-30yrs old when I purchased my old 1920's home. Although it was horribly old and was only 60% efficient, I never had a problem with it until this year when the gas valve finally went bad. I will sadly miss this furnace. It kept us incredibly warm.

"Flawless operation for over 10 years"
I purchase this furnace in 2000 it hasn't needed a repair yet. It's quiet and seems to use 1/2 the gas my old Rheem used. I definitely recommend looking at Bryant if you're in the market for a new furnace.

"Very good usually"
I actually own the 355cav60100 (Plus 95s Evolution system) installed in a downflow configuration. Not sure what the difference is in the cav and mav but the cav wasn't available on the drop down list. I also got the Bryant humbblfp1418a whole house humidifier with the Bryant Legacy Touch and Go thermostat. The furnace/humidifier has been a good package for nearly two years - I got it April before last so I've only used it for one complete winter. It maintains a very nice temperature without the large fluctuations of my last forced air furnace. While this makes for excellent comfort, it means the furnace has to run a lot - sometimes, a new cycle will start before the blower even shuts off from the last cycle. The humidifier is worth it as it tames the nasty static electricity we usually have in this dry Colorado air. It does use hot water though, so that costs a little extra. And it has a small fan. When the furnace is raising the house temp from the overnight or away setting, it'll run on low for 15 minutes or so, then kick into high till the temp is slightly above the set point. While this furnace is much quieter than my last furnace (it runs on low or medium most of the time), it can still make some noise on high. Sometimes it even kicks into high after the set temp has been reached - strange. The main relay took a little getting used to also - it's mounted on metal and makes a fairly loud noise when it engages - it can startle on a quiet morning. I put a rubber pad under it which helped some. I don't get regular service from the hvac company. I change the filters and humidifier pads myself. I hadn't had any trouble at all with this setup until last week. The temperature was coming up early in the morning, before I had gotten out of bed. I heard the furnace shut off abruptly only about 1/2 hour after it started - it usually takes about 1.5 hrs to raise the morning temp. I found that the control board and surrounding area was wet and some switches had shorted out, shutting down the operation. The humidifier is located above the control board in the ducting and for some reason I still don't understand, water had come from above, down the ducting and onto the equipment below. I dried out the board with a hair dryer, reset the trouble codes and it started working normally. It did the same thing the following morning while I wasn't watching again. It wouldn't do it while I was watching, although I couldn't see inside the duct with the furnace in operation anyway. All I ended up doing is turning the water faucet valve for the humidifier down to only 1/4 turn open. I had watched the dump line from the humidifier through numerous cycles and noticed a surge of water in the line one time. Maybe the solenoid valve does something weird. Haven't had any trouble in days so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I put a loose cover over the control board so it doesn't get sloshed if this happens again. I'm happy with my purchase and would buy it again. I think I got a pretty good deal as the dealer was trying to get rid of it, I guess to make room for newer models. I hope I don't end up needing some expensive service.

"Furnace in Attic"
I moved into my house about ten years ago and was very unhappy with my Lennox furnace that was installed in my attic above my bedroom. It was very noisy and it seemed like I was always having to replace parts. Then one year our heating company found a crack in the furnace and recommended a Bryant furnace to us. We have been very happy it is quiet and dependable. I also actually noticed a savings on my gas bill.

"12 Years running without a hitch"
I guess the best furnace is the one you just don't even notice. I've had this quiet furnace in my house for almost 13 years now. I have to admit I don't do the scheduled maintenance every year, but it doesn't seem to have mattered so far. I don't know what else I could ask for in a furnace.

"BEST FURNACE I EVER HAD"
Had a goodman before which I hated--switched to a bryant variable speed unit. This thing is so cool. I never thought I would be so excited over a furnace but after that goodman experience its nice to have a warm home when you come from work. It's so quiet that I rarely know its on.

"Not the furnace....it's the installer!"
If you read the reviews on every brand of furnace you would freeze to death. I am a Bryant dealer in Minnesota. I have not run into any problems so far with any Bryant equipment. Sounds like installer error. You read the same "crap" on every major brand out there. It comes down to the consumer wanting everything for nothing, so contractors try to keep the customer happy...cutting corners where they can to save you money. Install the equipment properly! Bryant has a very high standard and produce high quality equipment. Here's my challenge....let us put in your Bryant equipment...if it has any major problems in the first 10 years we will buy it back. You have to sign up for a pre-paid 10 year service plan to qualify for this deal. a service plan allows us to do the proper maintenance to keep the system running in tip top shape. Call 952-594-1135.

"Once Installed Properly, Very Pleased"
This furnace gave me problems since the start. It seemed to break down ever winter. After several years of paying maintenance fees for this garbage, I was informed that it was installed poorly. After they reversed the tubing that was put in wrong, the machine worked with no qualms. This companies product is of top quality but their workers are an entirely different story. If you plan on purchasing a Bryant make sure to tell the installation men to double check their work.
